San Francisco Injury Lawyer Blog
Motorcycle riders are passionate about their love for two wheels. Some cite the power and beauty of the machines themselves, some cite riding as a lower cost alternative to driving, others like feeling in touch with the road and the world around them. For most, it is probably all the above. Motorcycle riders deserve to be safe, but motorcycle fatalities and serious rider injuries are far too common. Our Oakland motorcycle injury law firm is committed to advocating for riders and their loved ones when motorcycle crashes are caused by negligent, inattentive drivers.
Motorcycle Rider Killed in Hit-and-Run
Over the weekend, as KTVU reports, a motorcycle rider died in a hit-and-run collision on interstate Highway 880 in Milpitas. The rider has been identified as 29 year-old Maka Langi of East Palo Alto. At approximately 9:15 P.M. on Saturday, callers alerted California Highway Patrol officers to a motorcyclist down. A passing motorist pulled the wrecked cycle off the road. Milpitas fire crews were the first on scene but they were too late to help Langi.
